Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning, a 4.6 this morning with a 6.4 at bedtime.
 
Morning all. 4.8 after a bit of a muck up last night. Daughter just moved house and busman's holiday last night decorating and forgot jab when fish and chips bought in. Bedtime test 22.2 !! 😱 Sue, really feel for you and the trouble you are having with the home. Doesn't bear thinking about. My mum passed away peacefully aged 90 living 100 miles away and only had to spend a month or so in a nursing home and I count myself lucky we didn't have problems like yours. (((( hug)))
 
Morning all. 5.9 today after a bedtime BG of 7.1.
 
7.4 this morning after an indian last night...not too bad

Hi Mossey,
Dad is at home not in a care home. He has so called care in the community 😡
Spoke to Mum last night and she told me Dad had been totally confused again and wanting to know what he had done wrong to have his standing aid taken away and why was that woman shouting at him earlier in the day.
That woman was the matron telling him she was taking the stand aid away and then telling us he fully understood what he had been told. Thus he had full mental capacity for use of the mental health act to make his own decisions.
Dad just nods and agrees with things. We know as a family what he does and doesn't understand.
My take on the matter is matron is abusing her power to suit herself. 😡
 
That's disgraceful Sue. Is there no-one you can complain to? The PCT, or your Local Councillor/MP maybe? Taking care of someone in your father's state is no easy task without having it made harder by bureaucrats and power-mad jobsworths.

My brother and I are shielding both my parents as much as we can. Mum is scared to death about us rocking the boat to much in case Dad's lovely carers are withdrawn and she is left on her own to care for him.
I live a 30 mile round trip from them as does my brother. I have ME so can not care for Dad full time as just not fit enough.
Have suggested to Mum she ups sticks with him and comes to stay with me here as it a dif county and the care is so much better. Suspect though Dad is to ill to be moved now.

I now have in my possession a micro recorder 🙂 Which I will show Mum how to use. The plan now is that it's apt only for visiting Dad and 24 hours notice will be required. Thus One of us will be there for them.

I think so! But the good news is that those numbers are much steadier than others you have had - no 10 mmol/l swings from bedtime to waking and very decent resullts from 2 hours after your tea 🙂

Hypo this morning :(

Saw Dad yesterday after his new routine started (rolling him on bed to dress him) He was crying very confused wanting to know why they were doing this to him and hurting him so much. He is lopsided can't sit up straight and has lost the complete use of his left arm now as they have damaged his shoulder.

That you know what of a matron turned up yesterday to bring some paper work to justify what they had done also she had a letter with what happened at the meeting.
Slightly more than an exaggeration of the truth was used and a completely false statement was also included.
she stated she spoke to *** and explained why the stand aid was taken away and he stated the words when asked if he understood " yes I fully understand the reasoning for removing the stand aid"
She also stated that the OT was witness to this as was Mum.
Slight problem Mum was with both me and my younger brother in the kitchen. She also stated he was fully able to understand what he was told under the mental health act. Even though two mins after she was gone Dad was asking why this woman was shouting at her as he didn't understand what she was saying or what he had done wrong.
Brother was there when she turned up yesterday so matron went off in a huff after he told her what he thought of the assault on his father.

I will be photo copying that letter and sending it to the relevant people as it is a fraudulent statement used only for the purposes to abuse her power. 😡
 
So wrong that your father should be put through this when he is already suffering so much :( Completely unnecessary and vile behaviour, who the hell does she think she is? 😡

Mum needs to have a Drs apt next week so I have asked her to book a double apt so we can discuss Dad with the Dr as well. I will also take a copy of the letter in with me with the correct version of events on it.
As to who the hell does she think she is God Almighty by the sounds of things. In February Dad was given a prognoses of 6 mths at the very most. He has amazed us all to have lasted this long, but to make these last few weeks on earth this painful and distressing for him is appalling.
